top picks of 2008

At the final meeting of 2008, with all five members in attendance, the secret members pondered the “best read” of 2008. After a complicated voting method was unanimously accepted by the Society, a vote was taken and laboriously tabulated. The winning books for 2008 are listed below. Please note that two candidates were tied for third place.

  1. The Secret Scripture by Sebastian Barry
  2. The Yiddish Policemen’s Union by Michael Chabon
  3. Frankenstin by Mary Shelley and
    Assassination Vacation by Sarah Vowell (tied)
